If you run extremely hot water back to the throttle body, won't that heat the intake charge? Warmer air = lower density = lower power output.

Since it's after the intercooler, the air can't be cooled...

Or maybe I'm missing the point here????

yeah i dunno bout that air be going through quite quickly i dont think it would have time to heat up .
im gonna set it up today gotta go get some parts

thanks guys.. :wink:

Well give it a go, but it's going to add some sort of additional heat.... even if it's only miniscule.

That's another reason why ppl use after-market teflon gaskets for the intake manifold.

true, but disconnecting the water from your intake manifold is still an old racers trick, and it works.

why dont you do it and aslo disconnect the water from the manifold
